The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 8

After Samantha spoke, everyone burst out in laughter.

“You came to Alyanz to reason? What’s going on in that head of yours?”

“The business world is like a battlefield. If you lose, you lose. If you can’t deal with that, don’t run a company.”

The crowd jeered.

Celine looked at Samantha with a smug look, taunting her. Everyone there wanted to work with her, so they were willing to do anything to get into her good books.

Samantha knew that there was no way she could win over them, but she wanted the truth from Celine. She said, “Celine, you forced me to sign the agreement to give away my company. I’m here to tell you that I’ll let it slide if you give Bailar back to me. We won’t have to go to court over it.”

“Hahaha!” Celine covered her mouth and laughed so hard that her tears started falling.

Everyone looked at Samantha as if she were a joke.

Celine smiled and said, “Samantha, you’re going to sue me? With what? Do you think you’ll win? I’m going to tell you the truth. Yes, I played you. To me, it was like playing with a dog.”

Celine arrogantly looked down on Samantha.

Samantha took a deep breath. That was the most arrogant thing she had ever heard. But before she could say anything, Celine continued. “Listen, Samantha, even if you tell the legate about this, it won’t help because he’s on my side.”

When Celine heard the news that the legate would be visiting, she never expected that she was so well-known that even he would want to meet her. She reckoned herself to be a big shott in the city too.

Right after she said those words, a voice came from outside, “Celine Blanche, those are some big words. Do you think the legate would side with trash like you?”
